Democratic candidate Barack Obama promised several times to renegotiate the deeply flawed NAFTA agreement once he became president.

Obama made the promise on August 7, 2007, November 15, 2007, December 13, 2007, January 21, 2008, and February 26, 2008.

NAFTA resulted in the loss of one million American jobs to and a $181 billion trade deficit.
Of course, Barack Obama never lifted a finger to renegotiate NAFTA once he was in office.

Chuck Schumer even paused to praise President Trump for successfully renogiating some bad trade agreements.

“Schumer: Trump ‘deserves praise’ for work to fix Mexico, Canada trade deal”

the San Fransicko Comical doesn’t give a hoot about rebuilding America’s economy or jobs ... or ANYTHING about manufacturing (the paper’s owners have plenty of $$$, they don’t need jobs, and neither themselves nor anyone in San Fransicko has manufactured or made anything useful for Americans .. in many years). SF used to be a good town with many jobs all across the boards including manufacturing (ship building, automobiles, furniture, radios, lots of things were made in SF back “in the day” before the political hacks turned it into a large welfare plantation full of sheit on the sidewalks and used drug needles on the train seats). Feinstein and Pelousy hail from San Fransicko....that’s the short way of saying the same thing.. a once-great city turned into a filthy, stinking sewer..

I don’t know. I read an analysis in the WSJ. I think maybe it was supposed to cast the deal negatively, but I liked what I saw.

“Rattled markets”? The SF Chronicle must be concerned about the Chinese market because they are SURE not talking about ours.

NAFTA didn’t survive.

The USMCA was born as it died.

Long may it remain dead.
